A museum on the Nuremberg Trials was opened in the German city of Nuremberg on Sunday.
The museum is organized in the Nuremberg courtroom in which a dozen senior Nazis were sentenced to death in 1946.
The opening ceremony was attended by Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his German counterpart Guido Westerwelle. Benjamin Ferencz, Chief Prosecutor for the United States in the Nuremberg trials, and a range of senior German, French, British and U.S. figures also took part.
The museum's collection comprises photographs and audio recordings, documents about the participants of the trials and the journalists who covered the process as well as a few bits of furniture. In particular, two prisoner's docks have survived.
Russia's foreign minister added several copies of documents to the museum's collection. "Many of them are unique and have never been published. I hope, these materials will become a substantial addition to the museum's exposition," Lavrov said.
